Remise du Prix Albert-Londres 2026

Democracy rests first on our capacity to understand the world around us. That understanding is built thanks to those who investigate, verify, document and report on reality, sometimes where others look away, sometimes where those in power would prefer that we did not look.

In an age marked by disinformation, manipulation of information and distrust of the media, reporting remains one of the most demanding forms of journalism.

Going into the field, meeting people, listening, observing and checking the facts: these are essential acts for democratic vitality.

Created in 1932 in tribute to the great reporter Albert Londres, the Albert Londres Prize is the most prestigious award in French-language journalism.

Each year, it honours young journalists in the categories of print press, audiovisual and book, whose work demonstrates a commitment to investigation, independence and rigour.

Albert Londres summed up the journalist's mission as follows: “Our trade is not to please, nor to do harm. ” The Théâtre de la Concorde is proud to host the Albert Londres Prize 2026 award ceremony.

While the presentation of the prizes for print press, audiovisual and books forms its heart, the evening has also become, over the years, a time for reflection and dialogue on journalism, its practices and its democratic responsibility.

Journalists, field reporters, representatives of major journalism events and guests from France and abroad will gather to celebrate demanding journalism, committed to facts and investigation, and to recall how information remains an essential common good for democratic life.

An evening to celebrate field journalism, the freedom to inform, and those who allow us to exercise our critical view of the world.
